"Man v. Food" shoots in Philly
The Travel Channel's Adam Richman goes hog-wild here. And cheesesteak wild. And ice cream wild.
The Travel Channel's Adam Richman spent a few days here last week to shoot a Man v. Food episode that is to reach the screen at 10 p.m. Sept. 23 (tentative).
Each time out, Richman does a challenge -- some sort of gustatory feat. In Philly's case, Richman challenged cheesesteak entrepreneur/actor Tony Luke Jr. to cheesesteak eating -- and the sandwiches were 5 pounds each. Bill "El Wingador" Simmons was the ref.
Richman also went to DiNic's in Reading Terminal Market for roast pork and roast beef, and to Old City's Franklin Fountain for ice cream.
